NATAS Travel Fair 2026 — The 10 Best Deals at Singapore Expo, 21–23 Aug (Verified Promo Codes, Booth Numbers & a Free eSIM)

NATAS Holidays 2026 — the 64th edition of Singapore's largest travel fair — runs Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August 2026 at Singapore Expo Halls 3B, 4 and 5, 10am to 9.30pm daily, free admission. Close to 100 exhibitors are in, exhibition space is up 25% on the last fair, and 14 national tourism organisations are on the floor (a 40% jump), with Papua New Guinea returning as destination partner. We pulled every offer below off the exhibitors' own NATAS flyers on the fair's official promotions page — not from deal-aggregator write-ups — so each promo code, price, minimum spend and booth number here is the brand's own published term. The single most valuable thing at this fair is not a tour: it is Traveloka's coupon sheet, which publishes 17 stackable NATAS codes including NATASFLYHIGHSQ for S$200 off a Singapore Airlines flight (min. spend S$2,500) and NATASSTAY for S$25 off any hotel (min. S$350). The best freebie is Yoowifi's free 3GB / 7-day travel eSIM, claimable at Booth 3H06 with no purchase required. And the offer with the shortest fuse is Trafalgar's stack: up to 40% off plus S$168 per person plus S$50 on selected bank cards, all of which die when the hall closes on Sunday night.

NATAS Holidays 2026 opens on Friday 21 August and closes on Sunday 23 August 2026, running 10am to 9.30pm on all three days at Singapore Expo, Halls 3B, 4 and 5. Admission is free, there is no ticket and no registration.

This is the 64th edition, and NATAS is running it under the theme *A World Within Reach*. The scale is up: exhibition space has grown 25% on the previous fair, close to 100 exhibitors are in, and 14 national tourism organisations are on the floor — a 40% increase — with Papua New Guinea returning as destination partner for a second year. NATAS president Steven Ler frames the fair as connecting consumers with travel agents, destinations and exclusive holiday offers in one place. Daily stage programmes of cultural performances and travel talks run 1pm to 8pm.

Where the offers below came from. Every price, promo code, minimum spend and booth number in this article was taken from the exhibitors' own NATAS flyers published on the fair's official promotions page, read on 16 August 2026 — not from deal-aggregator write-ups. Where a brand's own artwork states its booth number, we have used that number. Fair offers end when the hall closes on Sunday 23 August unless stated otherwise.

The three things worth doing regardless of whether you buy anything: claim Yoowifi's free 3GB / 7-day travel eSIM at Booth 3H06 (no purchase required, limited stock), enter the NATAS Lucky Dip if you spend at least S$500 anywhere at the fair (prizes include flight tickets from Singapore Airlines or China Southern), and — if you are buying a Singapore Airlines ticket at all — pay with a Mastercard so you qualify for the Spin & Win at Booth 5H12.

NATAS Holidays 2026 at a glance — every offer taken from the exhibitor's own flyer on the official NATAS promotions page, 16 August 2026. All fair offers end when the hall closes on 23 August.

Chan Brothers Travel (Booth 4H03) — S$200 to S$800 Off for Two on the Celebrity-DJ Tours

Chan Brothers is the largest tour operator on the floor and is marking its 60th year, so its NATAS pitch is built around escorted departures hosted by Singapore radio personalities — the format that reliably sells out first at this fair. The discounts are per-couple and run from S$200 to S$800 off for 2. The headline departures on its NATAS flyer: 9D Caucasus Duo Dream with UFM100.3 DJ Wen Hong from S$3,288 (S$800 off for 2, 5 nights in 5-star hotels, departs 21 Sep); 14D Danube & Rhine Winter Cruise with Capital 958 DJ QiQi from S$6,288 on a chartered cruise with a free Strauss cabin upgrade (S$800 off for 2, departs 21 Nov); 12D Soul of Morocco with Capital 958 DJ Lin Lingzhi from S$4,688 including a night in a private Sahara desert tent with en-suite bathroom (S$600 off for 2, departs 28 Oct); 7D Ultimate West Japan with Capital 958 DJ Pan Jiabiao from S$3,488 with onsen stays in Kyoto and Tottori (departs 3 Oct); 14D Xinjiang Joyful Jaunt with UFM100.3 DJ Cheng Yao from S$2,988 (departs 25 Oct); 8D Korea Fine Times with UFM100.3 DJ Limei from S$2,388 including a hanok stay and 2 nights at a ski resort (departs 28 Nov); 9D Eastern Hokkaido with Love 972 DJ Kenneth Kong from S$3,688 on a chartered flight (departs 10 Dec); and 8D Perfectly Delicious Shandong with celebrity chef Eric Teo from S$2,288 (departs 5 Nov). The cheapest thing on the flyer by a distance is the 3-night Penang cruise on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas with the Love 972 DJs, from S$439 with a free Penang shore excursion, sailing 24 November. Prices exclude taxes and surcharges, which the flyer states run from S$84 to S$800 depending on the tour — ask for the all-in figure before you put down a deposit. If you cannot make the fair, the Chan Brothers Travel Powerhouse at Fook Hai Building (150 South Bridge Road) runs the same booking desk.

S$200–S$800 off for 2 across the celebrity-DJ escorted tours: 9D Caucasus fr S$3,288 (S$800 off for 2), 14D Danube & Rhine chartered winter cruise fr S$6,288 (S$800 off for 2, free cabin upgrade), 12D Morocco fr S$4,688 (S$600 off for 2), 8D Korea fr S$2,388, 8D Shandong with chef Eric Teo fr S$2,288. Cheapest on the flyer: 3N Penang cruise on Navigator of the Seas fr S$439 with a free shore excursion (sails 24 Nov). Taxes and surcharges from S$84–S$800 are extra.

Trafalgar (Booth 4H32) — Three Discounts Stacked, Plus a Seiko Watch Worth S$673

Trafalgar runs escorted land tours and Europe river cruises, and its NATAS offer is the cleanest stack at the fair because all three layers apply to the same booking: **up to 40% off**, plus **an additional S$168 off per person**, plus **S$50 off on selected bank cards**. On a min. spend of S$8,000 you also receive a free Seiko watch the flyer values at S$673. Worldwide tour prices on the flyer, before those discounts: 10D9N Prague, Vienna & Budapest from S$2,898; 8D7N Best of Greece from S$2,988; 9D8N Villages of France from S$4,158; 9D8N Spectacular Canadian Rockies from S$5,058; 9D8N Best of Switzerland from S$5,208; 15D14N Best of Spain from S$5,378; and 16D15N South America Revealed from S$9,488. New this year is a small-group range capped at 18 guests: 8D7N Wild Encounters of Borneo from S$4,288, 9D8N Portugal Uncovered from S$4,838, 9D8N Wonders of Kenya from S$5,958, 10D9N Villages of Tuscany from S$6,228 and 11D10N Wonders of Patagonia from S$9,328. The Europe river cruises are the ones to look at if you are planning a year-end trip: Danube Christmas Markets and Rhine Christmas Markets are both 8 days with a 7-night cruise from S$3,438, Best of the Danube & Prague is 10 days from S$3,138, and Best of the Rhine & Amsterdam is 10 days from S$3,738. Prices are per person before discount and the flyer notes departures are guaranteed for 2026/27. Worth pairing with a proper policy — see our travel insurance comparison before you commit five figures to a European itinerary.

Up to 40% off + an additional S$168 off per person + S$50 off with selected bank cards — all three on the same booking. Free Seiko watch (worth S$673) on a min. spend of S$8,000. Sample fares before discount: 10D9N Prague, Vienna & Budapest fr S$2,898; 8D7N Best of Greece fr S$2,988; Danube or Rhine Christmas Markets river cruise (8D, 7-night cruise) fr S$3,438.

Singapore Airlines (Booth 5H12) — Spin & Win, Up to a Pair of Business Class Tickets

Singapore Airlines is the fair's strategic airline partner, and its NATAS mechanic is a game rather than a discount — but the prize ceiling is high enough that it is worth structuring your booking around. Buy a Singapore Airlines return or multi-city ticket departing Singapore from a participating travel agent at the fair, **pay with a Mastercard**, then take the receipt to the SIA booth at 5H12 to spin for a mystery gift. The prize pool on the flyer: a pair of SIA Business Class tickets, S$50 worth of Jewel Changi Airport gift vouchers, or limited-edition SIA merchandise. The Mastercard condition is the part people miss — a Visa or Amex on the same ticket does not qualify. Fifteen agents are participating, which covers most of the floor: ASA Holidays, Chan Brothers Travel, Citystate Cruises, CTC Travel, EU Holidays, Hong Thai Travel, JTB, L.G.E Travel, Nam Ho Travel, New Shan Travel, Super Travels, Trafalgar, Traveloka, Trip.com and WTS Travel. Note the useful overlap with item 1: Traveloka is on that list, and it separately publishes NATASFLYHIGHSQ (S$200 off an SIA booking on a min. spend of S$2,500) and NATASFLYSQ (S$80 off, min. S$1,200) — so a Singapore Airlines ticket bought through Traveloka with a Citi Mastercard could in principle carry a fare discount, the CITINATAS100 alternative and a Spin & Win entry off the same transaction. Check the code stacking rules in the app before you assume two codes apply to one booking. Redemption is at Booth 5H12 only, and the promotion runs for the three fair days.

Spin & Win: book an SIA return or multi-city ticket departing Singapore at any of 15 participating agents, pay by Mastercard, then redeem your spin at Booth 5H12. Prizes: a pair of SIA Business Class tickets, S$50 in Jewel Changi Airport gift vouchers, or limited SIA merchandise. Participating agents include Chan Brothers, CTC Travel, EU Holidays, Nam Ho, Trafalgar, Traveloka, Trip.com and WTS Travel. 21–23 Aug only.

Etiqa (Booths 4H34 & 5H11) — Up to 45% Off Travel Insurance, the Fair's Official Insurer

Etiqa is NATAS Holidays 2026's official travel insurer, and its fair offer is **up to 45% off travel insurance plus a free gift with every purchase**. This is the least glamorous item on this list and probably the one that saves the most people the most money, because the alternative most Singaporeans default to — buying a policy at the airport counter or bolting it onto a booking at checkout — is close to full price. The plan on the flyer is Travel Infinite, which comes in Classic, Deluxe and Suite tiers. Two features are worth knowing about because they are unusual: the policy **pays out on a 3-hour flight delay without you submitting a claim**, and claims payouts come through PayNow rather than cheque or bank transfer forms. The rest of the cover is conventional but the sums scale sharply by tier — overseas medical expenses run S$200,000 on Classic, S$1 million on Deluxe and S$2.5 million on Suite for an adult under 70; trip cancellation and loss of deposit (claimable up to 30 days before departure) runs S$5,000 / S$10,000 / S$15,000; travel delay pays S$50 every 3 hours up to S$1,000 / S$2,000 / S$3,000; and personal liability abroad runs S$750,000 / S$1 million / S$1.5 million. Note the age banding: for adults 70 and above, overseas medical drops to S$50,000 on Classic and S$75,000 on Deluxe, which matters if you are insuring parents on a group tour. If you are buying a tour at this fair anyway, buy the policy at the same visit — the 45% will not be there on Monday. For the year-round picture, compare against our best travel insurance and annual travel insurance round-ups.

Up to 45% off travel insurance plus a free gift with every purchase, at the official NATAS travel insurer. Travel Infinite plan pays out on a 3-hour flight delay without a claim submission, with PayNow payouts. Overseas medical up to S$2.5m (Suite tier, adult under 70); trip cancellation up to S$15,000; travel delay S$50 every 3 hours. Booths 4H34 and 5H11, 21–23 Aug only.

Cruise Arena (Booth 4H37) — Princess, Cunard, Royal Caribbean & Avalon Under One Counter

Cruises are the category where a travel fair still genuinely beats booking online, because cruise lines release fair-only cabin allocations and the consultant can hold a specific cabin number while you decide. Cruise Arena, a brand under Pacific Arena (licence TA00249), is running NATAS cruise deals at Booth 4H37 in Hall 4 across four lines that rarely sit at the same counter: **Princess Cruises** (its Sun Princess is the flagship on the flyer), **Cunard** (Queen Anne), **Royal Caribbean** and **Avalon Waterways** for European river cruising. That mix is the useful part — Royal Caribbean for a short Southeast Asia sailing out of Marina Bay Cruise Centre, Princess or Cunard for a longer repositioning or Alaska-style itinerary, Avalon if you want the Danube or Rhine without an ocean ship. Come with three things settled before you queue: your travel dates, your cabin category (inside, oceanview, balcony), and whether you need connecting cabins — those are the variables that decide whether a fair rate is actually available on your sailing. Cruise Arena is contactable at 6317 2707 and its office is at United Square #25-05 if you want to continue the conversation after the fair. Cross-check any Royal Caribbean quote against Traveloka's NATASRCCSAIL (S$380 off a min. S$3,000 booking) from item 1 — the two are separate resellers of the same cabins, and on a family booking the gap can be larger than either discount.

Korea Tourism Organization (Booth 5H10) — Free Gifts Worth Up to S$80 on Korea Packages

The Korea Tourism Organization is running a Discover Korea Beyond the Familiar pavilion at Booth 5H10, and its offer is a straightforward book-and-redeem: spend a minimum on any Korea package booked at the fair and choose one free gift. **Minimum S$1,400 per pax** gets you a choice of one item from the lower tier — a Line Friends foldable umbrella (worth S$20), a notebook (S$20), a Kakao Friends lap blanket (S$22), a luggage strap (S$17), a universal USB adaptor (S$38) or a Parachase gentleman's automatic umbrella (S$57). **Minimum S$2,000 per pax** unlocks the upper tier: a travel packing cube set worth S$40, or a K-beauty Roll Roll set of collagen lifting cream and collagen eye serum worth S$80. Colours and designs are subject to availability and it is whilst stocks last, so the S$80 K-beauty set will be the first thing to go on Friday. The strategic reason to visit this booth even if you are not buying today: 14 national tourism organisations are at this fair, up 40% on last year, and the NTO pavilions are where you get itinerary advice that is not tied to one agency's product — the Korea pavilion is programmed around getting people out of the Seoul-Busan default and into regions like Jeonju, Taean and Pyeongchang. Note that the gift is tied to a package booked at the fair, not to a flight you book yourself. If Korea is on the list, our K-ETA guide covers the entry paperwork.

Book & redeem at the Korea pavilion: min. S$1,400 per pax on any Korea package gets one free gift from the lower tier (Line Friends foldable umbrella S$20, Kakao Friends lap blanket S$22, luggage strap S$17, universal USB adaptor S$38 or Parachase automatic umbrella S$57). Min. S$2,000 per pax unlocks a travel packing cube set (worth S$40) or the K-beauty collagen lifting cream + eye serum set (worth S$80). Whilst stocks last, Booth 5H10, 21–23 Aug.

YouTrip (Booth 4H26) — Free S$5 on Activation, and the FX Fees You Stop Paying

A travel fair is where people spend five figures on a holiday and then lose 3% of their on-the-ground spending to foreign exchange fees, which is why the multi-currency wallet booths are worth ten minutes. YouTrip's NATAS offer is a **free S$5 credited on activation of your YouTrip card with promo code YTTRAVEL5**, entered at the Final Step screen during sign-up. The sign-up flow is five steps: download the app, verify with Singpass (or submit documents manually), enter YTTRAVEL5, top up via PayNow, and start paying with the virtual card while the physical card is delivered. The reason to bother is the ongoing terms rather than the S$5: **zero FX fees** when paying in 150-plus countries, 12 in-app wallet currencies you can exchange and lock rates on ahead of a trip, **free overseas ATM withdrawals for the first S$400 per month** in foreign currency (a 2% fee applies after that), Apple Pay and Google Pay support, and a one-click security lock if you lose the card. Two practical notes. First, locking rates in advance only helps if you have a view on the currency — for most trips the useful feature is simply not paying the 3-ish% that a standard credit card charges on overseas spend. Second, the free ATM allowance is per month, not per trip, so a two-week holiday spanning a month boundary effectively gets two allowances. Compare against the alternatives in our currency exchange guide and travel miles cards round-up.

YTTRAVEL5 — free S$5 credited upon activation of your YouTrip card. Enter the code at the 'Final Step' screen during sign-up. Ongoing: zero FX fees in 150+ countries, 12 in-app wallet currencies, free overseas ATM withdrawals on the first S$400/month in foreign currency (2% fee thereafter), Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Yoowifi (Booth 3H06) — A Free 3GB / 7-Day Travel eSIM, No Purchase Required

This is the best pure freebie at NATAS Holidays 2026 and the one to do first, because it costs nothing and stock is limited. Yoowifi is the fair's preferred roaming partner and is **giving away a free 3GB, 7-day travel eSIM at Booth 3H06** — no purchase, no minimum spend, just claim it at the counter while stocks last. Three gigabytes over seven days is a real allowance for a short regional trip: it comfortably covers maps, messaging, ride-hailing and boarding passes for a Bangkok or Bali long weekend, and it removes the airport-arrival scramble of hunting for a local SIM counter or paying your telco's daily roaming rate. Two things to sort out before you walk over. First, **check your phone actually supports eSIM** — most iPhones from the XS onward and most recent Android flagships do, but a dual-SIM physical-tray model may not. Second, ask at the counter which countries the free eSIM covers and when the 7-day validity window starts counting — travel eSIMs usually begin their clock on first connection in the destination rather than on the day you claim them, but that is worth confirming rather than assuming, because a plan that starts ticking at claim time is worthless if your trip is in November. If your trip is longer than a week or you need more than 3GB, the booth sells paid plans too; price them against the eSIM deals in our telco and mobile plans comparison before committing.

FREE 3GB / 7-day travel eSIM — claim at Booth 3H06, no purchase required. Limited stock, terms apply. Yoowifi is the NATAS Holidays 2026 preferred roaming partner. Check your phone supports eSIM, and confirm at the counter which countries are covered and when the 7-day validity starts counting.

OCBC (Booth B02) — Free Luggage Bag, Free Umbrella and Sure-Win Prizes

The bank row at a travel fair exists for one reason: the card you pay with changes the price of everything else on the floor. OCBC is at Booth B02 with **free luggage bags, free umbrellas and sure-win prizes** for cardholders who transact at the fair — the classic travel-fair redemption, and the reason it is worth checking the bank booths before you commit a five-figure tour payment rather than after. Two things to do while you are at the row. First, ask which of your existing cards attracts the fair redemption and what the qualifying spend is — travel-fair bank offers are usually tiered by transaction size, and a tour deposit often clears the lowest tier on its own. Second, check whether the agent you are buying from accepts that card at all: some travel agents pass card fees on or restrict which networks they take on deposits, and finding that out at the payment counter is how people end up on a card that carries no redemption. Note the interaction with two other items on this list. Trafalgar's stack includes **S$50 off on selected bank cards** (ask at 4H32 which issuers qualify), and Singapore Airlines' Spin & Win at 5H12 requires **Mastercard** specifically — so the optimal card is not necessarily the one with the best miles rate, it is the one that unlocks the redemption on the specific booking you are making. OCBC, Maybank, Citibank and Standard Chartered all have counters in the bank row (B01, B02, B05 and B06). For the year-round picture, see our travel miles cards comparison.

Free luggage bags, free umbrellas and sure-win prizes for OCBC cardholders transacting at the fair — Booth B02, 21–23 Aug. Ask which of your cards qualifies and what the minimum spend tier is before you pay a tour deposit. The bank row also has Maybank (B01), Standard Chartered (B05) and Citibank (B06).

Most people wander the halls and buy the first thing that looks discounted. A better route, in order:

  1. Hall 3 first — collect the free stuff. Yoowifi's free 3GB / 7-day eSIM at Booth 3H06 costs nothing and is limited stock, so it is the one thing that can genuinely run out before you get there.
  2. Bank row next, before you buy anything. OCBC (B02), Maybank (B01), Standard Chartered (B05) and Citibank (B06). Find out which of your cards carries a fair redemption and what the qualifying spend is — this changes which card you should pay your tour deposit on an hour later.
  3. Then the big-ticket counter. Tours and cruises are where the fair-only pricing lives: Chan Brothers (4H03), Trafalgar (4H32), Cruise Arena (4H37). Bring dates, passenger ages and cabin preferences already decided.
  4. Insurance on the way out. Etiqa at 4H34 and 5H11, up to 45% off. Buy it while you still have the tour details in hand — the ages and dates you need are the same ones you just gave the agent.
  5. Traveloka's codes from your phone, any time. The 17 codes at Booth 4H52 work in the app for all three days, so this is the part you do not need to queue for.

The four numbers that decide whether you actually saved money

Check thisWhy it matters
All-in price after taxes and surchargesChan Brothers' flyer states taxes and surcharges of S$84–S$800 on top of the advertised fr fares. A "S$200 off for 2" that sits on an undisclosed S$600 surcharge is not a discount
Minimum spend on the code you are usingTraveloka's codes range from a S$550 minimum (NATASFLYSEA) to S$9,000 (NATASFLYLUXE). The wrong code silently fails at checkout
Which card unlocks which redemptionSIA's Spin & Win requires a Mastercard; Trafalgar's extra S$50 is on selected bank cards only. The best miles card is not always the right card here
Deposit versus full payment termsSeveral exhibitors reward full payment at the fair rather than a deposit. Ask what you forfeit if the tour does not reach minimum group size

What to bring

Passport details for every traveller (agents need full names as printed for ticketing), the credit card that carries the fair redemption, and a rough shortlist of two or three destinations rather than one fixed plan — the discounts vary enormously by departure date, and flexibility on dates is where the largest savings sit at a travel fair. If you are booking for parents, note Etiqa's age banding: overseas medical cover drops from S$200,000 to S$50,000 on the Classic tier once the insured is 70 or over.

Frequently Asked Questions

When and where is the NATAS fair in August 2026, and is it free?

NATAS Holidays 2026 runs Friday 21 to Sunday 23 August 2026 at Singapore Expo, Halls 3B, 4 and 5, from 10am to 9.30pm on all three days. Admission is free and there is no registration or ticket — you can walk in. This is the 64th edition of the fair and NATAS says exhibition space is up 25% on the previous edition, with close to 100 exhibitors and 14 national tourism organisations on the floor (a 40% increase), under the theme A World Within Reach. Papua New Guinea returns as destination partner for a second consecutive year. Daily stage programmes of cultural performances and travel talks run from 1pm to 8pm. Singapore Expo is on the East West and Downtown lines at Expo MRT, and the halls are a short walk from the station along the covered walkway.

Do I have to queue at a booth to use the NATAS promo codes?

It depends whose offer it is, and this is the most useful distinction to understand before you go. Traveloka's 17 NATAS codes are used in the Traveloka app — you type them at checkout, so you can sit at home on Saturday and still get NATASFLYHIGHSQ (S$200 off a Singapore Airlines booking, min. spend S$2,500) or NATASSTAY (S$25 off any hotel, min. S$350). YouTrip's YTTRAVEL5 is entered during app sign-up and needs no booth visit either. Everything else on this list is transacted at the physical counter: Chan Brothers' per-couple tour discounts, Trafalgar's stacked 40% plus S$168 plus S$50, Etiqa's up-to-45%-off insurance, Cruise Arena's cabin allocations, the Korea Tourism gift redemption, Yoowifi's free eSIM and OCBC's redemptions. Singapore Airlines' Spin & Win is a hybrid — you can buy the ticket through a participating agent including Traveloka, but the spin itself must be redeemed in person at Booth 5H12.

Are NATAS fair prices actually cheaper than booking online?

For some categories yes, for others the honest answer is no — and knowing which is which saves you a wasted afternoon. Cruises are where the fair genuinely wins: lines release fair-only cabin allocations and a consultant can hold a named cabin while you decide, which no website does. Escorted group tours are the second: the per-couple discounts (Chan Brothers at S$200–S$800 off for 2, Trafalgar stacking up to 40% plus S$168 plus S$50) are real money on a five-figure booking, and escorted departures with a fixed date and a host genuinely do sell out. Travel insurance at up to 45% off is a straightforward saving against buying at the airport. Free-and-easy flights and hotels are the category where the fair adds least — the same seat is on the same GDS either way — which is exactly why Traveloka's app-usable code sheet matters more than its booth. One caution that applies to every category: compare the all-in price after taxes and surcharges, not the fr price on the poster. Chan Brothers' own flyer states taxes and surcharges of S$84 to S$800 on top of the advertised fares.

Which day of the NATAS fair should I go?

Friday morning if you intend to actually book something. The fair opens at 10am and the first two or three hours are the only window where you can sit with a consultant, work through dates and cabin categories and ask about surcharges without a queue forming behind you — which matters because the decisions that save real money (all-in pricing, connecting cabins, which bank card unlocks which redemption) are conversations, not transactions. Friday is also when limited-stock items are still there: Yoowifi's free 3GB eSIM at Booth 3H06, the Korea Tourism K-beauty set worth S$80 at 5H10, and OCBC's luggage bags at B02 are all whilst-stocks-last. Saturday is the busiest day and the worst for consultation. Sunday evening has one narrow advantage — agents sometimes discount unsold seats on specific departures late on the final day — but you are gambling that the departure you want is undersold, and the popular celebrity-DJ tours will have gone. If you only want the app-based codes rather than a booth, the day is irrelevant: Traveloka's codes work from anywhere for all three days.

Is there a lucky draw at NATAS Holidays 2026?

Yes, and there are two separate ones worth knowing about. The fair-wide one is the NATAS Lucky Dip: spend a minimum of S$500 at the fair and you can enter, with prizes including flight tickets from Singapore Airlines or China Southern Airlines. Because the threshold is low relative to what a tour deposit costs, most people who book anything at all will qualify — keep your receipt and ask where to redeem the entry at the counter where you paid. The second is Singapore Airlines' own Spin & Win at Booth 5H12, which is not a draw but a guaranteed mystery gift: buy an SIA return or multi-city ticket departing Singapore from one of 15 participating agents, pay with a Mastercard, and spin for a prize pool that runs from limited SIA merchandise up to S$50 in Jewel Changi Airport gift vouchers and a pair of SIA Business Class tickets. Individual exhibitors run their own mechanics on top — Traveloka has a Spin & Win at Booth 4H52 whose grand prizes include a Royal Caribbean balcony cabin on a 2-night sailing from Hong Kong.
